Vascular endothelial cells will be collected and assessed for changes in protein expression of NADPH oxidase after 3 months of treatment with rilonacept vs. placebo. Protein expression is calculated as a ratio of intensity of staining in the patient cells relative to human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) control cells. The absolute change in this ratio between baseline and week 12 is reported below.
